The term 'liberal lattes' is a familiar pejorative in the US.
The website Urban Dictionary defines the term as 'liberals who sit around and drink overpriced diluted Starbucks coffee while lamenting the plight of the poor'.
While it may have begun as a joke, a new study shows that people with left-leaning ideologies actually do drink more lattes - a beverage with European origins - than conservatives.
Researchers from University of Pennsylvania found that liberals drink lattes more so than conservatives because they are more open to globalization, whereas right-leaning people tend to take an 'America first' nationalistic attitude and shy away from 'foreign products' of all kinds.
They surveyed 1,500 Americans, 1,000 of whom were coffee drinkers, and found that members of both political ideologies are equally likely to enjoy coffee.
They also found that most Americans, regardless of political ideology, prefer regular brewed coffee to lattes. Only 16 percent of liberals, 11 percent of moderates, and 9 percent of conservatives prefer lattes.
They collected data about their coffee preferences, political ideology, household income, gender, zip code, and attitudes toward globalization.

Who knew my rancher grandpa was so hip? When I was a wee little toddler, I’d get up before the crack of dawn with him and have breakfast. He’d pour us both a cup of coffee. His was black but mine was a latte with 99% milk.

Lattes are too pussy. Just slip a little Jack Daniels into the recipe. It’ll grow hair where none has grown before.
Better yet, cut the latte from the recipe. After a few rounds there are no issues left to resolve except your gender and where is the nearest john.
Still can’t decide, then drop your drawers and pretend you are in San Francisco.
BTW: It takes a “real” man/women/whatever to drink a latte in a biker bar.
Do they also eat insects and wipe their bottoms with their left hand?
half decaf
cuz coffee is a carcinogen ...
“Lattes are pretty gay.”
Amen.
Conservative are too smart to spend that much for a cup of coffee.
